How do I know if my Tower TFC Group Aireliminator needs servicing?

[GarrettLynn]

Keeping your Tower TFC Group Aireliminator running efficiently is key for your heating system's performance. Here's how to tell if it needs servicing, based on the user manual recommendations:

1. Annual Check: Tower TFC Group suggests an annual check-up to ensure optimal performance.
2. Vent Pin Test: Remove the vent cap and test the vent pin until system liquid passes. If the fluid is clear and the magnetic system filter (if installed) is clean, further service may not be needed.
3. Check for Soiling: If the system is heavily soiled, drain it to inspect the Aireliminator body. Look for sludge or debris.
4. Component Inspection and Cleaning: Drain the system, unscrew the top section, and remove the float assembly for cleaning (be careful with components and seals). Remove the base cap and check/clean the stainless steel particulate filter. Rinse both removed pieces thoroughly.
5. Seal Check and Reassembly: Inspect seals for any damage, then reassemble the components. Reattach the body, refill the system following BS7593:2019 guidelines.
6. Venting: After refilling, vent the Aireliminator to confirm it is working correctly.

Following these steps, particularly the annual check, will help keep your Tower TFC Group Aireliminator in good shape, ensuring it effectively removes air from your heating system.
